i really understood all the things they could do....

i also remember in 1961, some fellow coming to our Humble Oil office in Tyler, Texas and showing us a storage device which would eliminate all our filing cabinets. thank god we waited a year or two before expanding our use of the "new technology"

incidentally, my first handheld calculator was in 1970, cost $86.00 and would do FOUR functions.....
still got it and it still works fine....
